CG Says:
Toyota applies the favored Corolla nameplate to a crossover for the primary time with the introduction of the Corolla Cross for 2022. Dimension sensible, this new SUV straddles the road between the subcompact and compact SUV courses (we categorize it as a subcompact SUV). It’s roughly 3 inches longer than a Corolla hatchback and about 5 inches shorter than Toyota’s RAV4 compact SUV, filling the hole between the quirky C-HR and RAV4 in Toyota’s SUV lineup.
For now a minimum of, the only real powertrain alternative is a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder paired with a CVT automated transmission. All fashions can be found with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. A gas-electric hybrid model is anticipated sooner or later, maybe as a 2023 mannequin.
The Corolla Cross is obtainable in three trim ranges: L, LE, and top-line XLE. Contained in the cabin, the L and LE variations have conventional devices, with a 4.2-inch multifunction display. The XLE mannequin has an upgraded gauge panel with a 7-inch multifunction show, in addition to options corresponding to heated entrance seats and leatherette upholstery. All fashions have a regular infotainment system managed by a 7.0-inch touchscreen; an 8.0-inch display is non-obligatory on the LE and XLE. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity is customary on all fashions.
Additionally customary on all is Toyota’s Security Sense 2.0 set of security options, which features a pre-collision system, lane departure alert, street signal help, and lane tracing help. LE and XLE variations have customary cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring.
Our solely actual complaints with this tidy bundle is the tepid acceleration and restricted 2nd-row seating house. And, as a quibble, we wouldn’t thoughts seeing an improve by way of cabin supplies. All that stated, Corolla Cross pricing lands squarely within the worth camp.
Though it’s not revolutionary the least bit, the Corolla Cross nonetheless brings the prosaic-but-practical virtues of the confirmed Corolla model to SUV consumers in a fashion that’s compelling and applicable. From that standpoint, it ought to show to be a stable alternative for customers in search of reliable Toyota worth in a helpful crossover bundle. Learn our First Spin of the Corolla Cross right here.
